followed the clergy in procession. The
dedication was concluded by a short
service in the cosy little chapel
on the upper floor. BenedictiOn
was offered by Father Edwards. In the
course of few remarks delivered to
the assembled visitors, Bishop Grace
said: ''Our Divine Lord at one time
being on mountain top and, observing
the great eXpanse of country stretching
out before His vision, and moved by the
majesty of the scene, turned to His
disciples; nan, and said: Behold the h .a1s
vest This harvest represents the
world and in certain sense the church
of God. In this field of the church there
are a variety of things to attract our at
tention. The church requires other
things from us besides assisting at mass
and frequenting the Sacraments. Vast
indeed are the labOrS, the duties to be
accomplished in the vineyard of the
church. The poor must be cared for,
the fallen looked after. Again there
are the weak and helpless orphans de-
prived of their natural parentage.
These must be provided for both
in material and spiritual sense.
We are all laborerS in common
cause. Our ministers are overworked
tending to religious duties. Therefore, a
both men and women, in this work of
charity. God calls us to do this work.
We are created and placed in society
where one must depend on another, so
it is
OUR DUTY TO WORK,
and work hard in this field. We are
not satisfying Almighty God by labor
ing only for our own welfare. We adj
vance our own interests in proportion
as we show zeal in providing for these
harveStS of souls. And if any of these
little ones perish through our careless
ness we will surely, one day, be held
responsible for it. The love of God,
which we gain when we Succor the little
orphan, should be sufficient inspiration
to do even more than we think we are
capable Of"
After the services all sat down to a
bountiful repast prepared by the sisters
for the occasion. Lunch over, George
